The learning will be progressive, so for best results you will need to be in weekly contact with your lecturer during class time at your campus.Assignment Structure should be the following:1. An opening statement of the Research Problem and research Question(s) – these should now be more detailed than what you had in your Topic Approval.2. Discussion of major theories, models or streams of influence around this topic. This provides your lecturer with evidence that you have gone deeper than your initial search now to find literature that leads you toward answering your research question3. Draw the reader’s attention to any contrasting views expressed in prior research in this area and give your view of how differing opinions can be brought together to help answer the research question and ultimately resolve the research problem. [the more comprehensive your literature review, the better. Whatever you do NOT find out in this literature review will leave you with more work to do when you move to the next part of the project, i.e. methodology]4. Report how it has brought you closer to an answer to your research question(s).5. Ensure all in text citations are correctly referenced.6. Add a comprehensive List of References, in Harvard referencing style.7. Append a statement indicating ‘who wrote which sections of this report’HI6008 BUSINESS RESEARCH PROJECT.
